An area of 6,000ft² at the Paris manufacturing facility was revamped to house the new facility that will manufacture 46oz and 64oz PET containers for Campbell’s V8 brand of vegetable juice products.

Amcor North American beverage business unit vice-president and general manager Larry Weber said: “We’re excited about establishing this on-site operation because it expands our long-time strategic partnership with Campbell’s and gives us an opportunity to better serve a key strategic customer.”

The new on-site production plant will help keep more than 2,000 truckloads of containers off the road each year.
